Life without Anorexia

My motto is
'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

My life at the moment is completely different to how it once was. I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia and depression as well as struggling with self harm and overexercising. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
And since 2012 i have been declared healthy from my eating disorder.

I have been blogging for 7 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.

I now blog about recovery, my life, veganism and positivity!

Blllaahhh

The title describes my mood.
   I seem to only have 3 feelings/moods at the moment and they are: tired, hungry and BLAH. But BLAH is almost a combination of tired and hungry? ;)

It feels like summer was forever ago.... but its only been a week back to school. And im already thrown head first into a pile of work. Information is thrown at me in every class. Told about all these big assignments. Tests. Talking about grades... how its extremely hard to acheive an A. And slowly i just feel like creeping away....
  Im a a high achiever. But the fact is, the more work i get....... thats when i feel like giving up. Because i want things to be perfect. I want to get an A, or atleast a B.... or just not give a damn at all..... But of course, getting an A or a B, means LOADS of work....
   But im willing to put the work in. Its going to take time and effort, and of course, energy. But i am a perfectionist and a high achiever. I almost put too much pressure on myself.... which can just make me feel worse.

I left the house this morning at 7.15am, and didnt get home until 5.30pm.... Long day, in other words. And that is how my days will be... so you do have to excuse the lack of blogging and lack of interesting posts!!!
 But i must admit, im proud of myself that i am still making scheduled posts and can still keep up, somewhat good blogging :)
   And i will continue to try to answer the questions.... In video or text? ;)

Anyway. Now i have to actually start on my homework, so that i can atelast try to have some me time this evening :)


^^Shockingly i havent taken any new ego pics (this is strange, for being me!!) recently, so.... 
its an old picture of me :)
^^I felt this post had to have some sort of picture.... :)

    I'm happy to say that I've been eating more than ever, and lifting heavier that ever in the gym and I feel sooooo energized and strong and LEAN!! Food makes miracles!!! Food is awesome!!

    So how did I spend so much time hating food????? Not anymore!!!

    Getting better and better. It's been soch a good week so far!

    And when I start to think that I've eaten too much or having negative thoughts about it, I think "well I'm sure Izzy would understand me and I'm sure she has eaten a lot as well and sttil NEITHER of us are getting fat. Noooo, we're getting stronger and happier! hahahah

    1. Your comment was the highlight of my evening!! It put a smile on my face :)
      I am so glad to read your words! To hear that you are eating more, that you have more energy!! And thats what food does.
      Because in the end, food is fuel... whether you use that fuel to workout, to work, to study, to travel etc. And lifting weights makes a HUGE difference!! That is something which i am still realising. Since i cut down on cardio, and increased my weights, its now that im seeing more progress than ever!! I actually looked at a picture from 10 weeks ago, of me... and i look very different now compared to then. But how i looked 10 weeks ago, was pretty much how i looked for the whole year, while i was mainly doing cardio.

      Hahaha, 'im sure she has eaten alot as well ;)' this made me laugh :) But dont worry, i dont take it negatively!! And even though i eat alot, no... i dont get fat. Food doesnt automatically equal weight gain.
      And exactly, we're getting stronger and happier. And remember, if you're building muscle, then your body will need more energy.. .meaning more food :)

      Thank you for your lovely comment :)
      Hugs from me :) Even if i dont actually know you, it feels like i do anyway :)

    2. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy that's the spirit!! hahahah

      So nice I made you smile!! I love making people smile, I've always done that, but then... u know, I spent 2 whole years making people worry and sometimes making them cry. But that's in the past. No more crying!!

      Today I'm even more excited than yesterday!!

      ohh glad you didn't take it negativaly when I said you've eaten a lot, it's kind of a joke, though it's true! hahahah food food food I love it more than ever, cause it's doing my body soooo gooodddd!!

      Wow that's so true, I've cut down cardio too. Actually I take Muay Thai classes twice a week and THAT'S IT. sometimes I do HIIT in the treadmill (when I feel like sweating more), but wheightlifting is definitely the best thing we can do to see changes in our bodies - we're getting hotter and hotter babeeee hahahaha

      Hope you're having a great day so far...
      Here in São Paulo it's 11h30 AM, I've eaten a huge breakfast (big oatmeallll bowl and a quest bar) and a morning skack (yogurt, PB, mini rice cakes) and.... I'm hungry again! hahahaha
      But I won't eat lunch ultill 1h30 PM (I'm working...) and thats pisses me off! Okay, no problem, I'll wait...
